Speed kills

A SCOTS brother and sister, Jennifer and Andrew Cathro, have been critically injured in a holiday horror crash that killed two people and left another fighting for life.Police believe the sister lost control of the £80,000 Porsche before it slammed into a Mazda driven by an 83-year-old pensioner from the village of Maria Rain. A 62-year-old passenger in the Mazda died from head injuries at the scene, while a second passenger - the 82-year-old wife of the car's driver - later died in hospital. The Mazda's driver was last night also seriously ill in hospital.

A source said: "This was obviously a horrendous accident. Both cars are extensively damaged and will be written off. "The crash was on a straight section of road but weather conditions were wet and it looks like the Porsche's driver lost control."
